Academic Pursuits

School Life

Navigating the school environment involves understanding terms like 'level' (nivel), 'boarding' (internado), 'campus', 'deadline' (fecha límite), and more. From pupils (alumnos) to professors, the academic journey begins here. Students tackle subjects, attend seminars (cursos de materia), hand in assignments (trabajos), and strive to graduate.
